DEAR
MR
.
MANAGER
:
I
am
sorry
to
have
to
trouble
you
at
a
time
when
you
must
be
so
very
busy
,
renewing
important
engagements
,
signing
fresh
ones
and
generally
displaying
your
excellent
taste
.
I
know
what
you
have
done
for
Carlotta
,
Sorelli
and
little
Jammes
and
for
a
few
others
whose
admirable
qualities
of
talent
or
genius
you
have
suspected
.
Of
course
,
when
I
use
these
words
,
I
do
not
mean
to
apply
them
to
La
Carlotta
,
who
sings
like
a
squirt
and
who
ought
never
to
have
been
allowed
to
leave
the
Ambassadeurs
and
the
Cafe
Jacquin
;
nor
to
La
Sorelli
,
who
owes
her
success
mainly
to
the
coach
-
builders
;
nor
to
little
Jammes
,
who
dances
like
a
calf
in
a
field
.
And
I
am
not
speaking
of
Christine
Daae
either
,
though
her
genius
is
certain
,
whereas
your
jealousy
prevents
her
from
creating
any
important
part
.
When
all
is
said
,
you
are
free
to
conduct
your
little
business
as
you
think
best
,
are
you
not
?
All
the
same
,
I
should
like
to
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
you
have
not
yet
turned
Christine
Daae
out
of
doors
by
hearing
her
this
evening
in
the
part
of
Siebel
,
as
that
of
Margarita
has
been
forbidden
her
since
her
triumph
of
the
other
evening
;
and
I
will
ask
you
not
to
dispose
of
my
box
to
-
day
nor
on
the
FOLLOWING
DAYS
,
for
I
can
not
end
this
letter
without
telling
you
how
disagreeably
surprised
I
have
been
once
or
twice
,
to
hear
,
on
arriving
at
the
Opera
,
that
my
box
had
been
sold
,
at
the
box
-
office
,
by
your
orders
.
I
did
not
protest
,
first
,
because
I
dislike
scandal
,
and
,
second
,
because
I
thought
that
your
predecessors
,
MM
.
Debienne
and
Poligny
,
who
were
always
charming
to
me
,
had
neglected
,
before
leaving
,
to
mention
my
little
fads
to
you
.
I
have
now
received
a
reply
from
those
gentlemen
to
my
letter
asking
for
an
explanation
,
and
this
reply
proves
that
you
know
all
about
my
Memorandum
-
Book
and
,
consequently
,
that
you
are
treating
me
with
outrageous
contempt
.
IF
YOU
WISH
TO
LIVE
IN
PEACE
,
YOU
MUST
NOT
BEGIN
BY
TAKING
AWAY
MY
PRIVATE
BOX
.
Believe
me
to
be
,
dear
Mr
.
Manager
,
without
prejudice
to
these
little
observations
,
Your
Most
Humble
and
Obedient
Servant
,
OPERA
GHOST
.
The
letter
was
accompanied
by
a
cutting

Theatrale
